Experiment VI. 
A dog, which had been killed by d 
blow on the head, on being prepared, 
exhibited very considerable fhocks and 
movements, particularly in one of his 
fore-paws, which bent five ©r fix times, 
as if in the action of walking. The hyo 
and genio gloffi mufcles trembled feveral 
times; thofe of the larynx, the nerves 
of which had been likewife coated, ex¬ 
perienced flight tremblings; the heart did 
not beat, although M. Mafini coated 
the eighth pair of nerves, whilfl: that vifi¬ 
cus was reeking and hot. All the appear¬ 
ances ceafed within an hour. 
In four dogs I endeavoured to excite 
movements in the heart, but my en¬ 
deavours were fruitlefs. The diaphragm 
afforded very confiderable ones on arming 
the phrenic nerve, and eftablifliing a com¬ 
munication between it and the coating.
